Famed conductor Gustavo Dudamel has accused Oscar-nominated actor Timothée Chalamet of "ignorance" following the star's assertion that "no one cares" about opera and ballet.
Speaking on Tuesday night at an event to unveil the programming for his inaugural season as the New York Philharmonic's music director, Dudamel stated: "Sadly sometimes it’s a little bit of ignorance but, look, that is why we have to open more spaces for people to connect with classical music."
